As I reflect over the day I guess I can summarize it with the word "reconnect." I was able to make several 're-connections' with people either by face to face contact or by phone. Other than the really good conversations that I enjoyed, I would not consider the day very exciting, but a day that I got several things knocked off my 'to-do-list.' I'm reminded that God is the God of the ordinary... as well as the supernatural.
My reading today took me to the Book of John (chapter 10). At the end of the chapter the people recall what had been taught by John the Baptist concerning Jesus which I believe testisfies to the importance of faithfulness in the ordianary, day to day, times of life. The people state that John never did any miraclous signs, but that everything he had said about Jesus was true.
John's ministry might not have been very flashy... with the wild man look going on, wearing camel hair and eating wild locusts and honey. But what John the Baptist did do was remain faithful to the message God had called him to deliver. When the people had heard from John about Jesus, and then experienced Jesus for themselves, their faith and belief in the Lord increased even more.
May what we say about Jesus through our words and actions in the ordinary days of life's journey reflect the true nature of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
